MUSICAL, HARMONY.

Harmony, above all things, is what is
needed, as a matter of course. at the national
convention of music teachers to be held in
this city, and with view to securing this,
the New York Musical Courier, official organ
of the association, INDUCES in a series of re-
marks from week to week which may have
the desired effect and may not OF the rumor
that certain gentleman 'who holds posi-
ton of some importance in the inside
councils of the music teachers organization
has been engaged in advancing the interests
of piano mandatory, the Courier says:
eff the leading, conscientious, self-sacrifcing
and honest members of the NJ. 7. N. A. shall
discover at Indianapolis that the association
has been made vehicle for the advancement
of any special piano interests, no matter
whose, the member who has been identified
with such maneuvres as bring about such
condition Of things will be forever relegated
to the obscurity his own sordidness drove him
into" After thus consigning one individual to
awful fate, the paper passes to another mat
ter and remarks sententiously: "The self
respect of the Music Teacherss National Asso-
citation should be sufficient as a motive to
demand secretary of the association man
who can write grammatical letter." No
diagram goes with this, but there is reason to
suspect that it has direct reference to another
Certain man" who, in the opinion of the
Courier, cannot write grammatical letter.
Preliminary Indications of this sort afford
every assurance that harmony of the kind
common to musical gatherings will prevail at
the convention to unusual degree.

THE GABLE RAILWAY,

We hear of no opposition as yet to the new
cable street railroad project. 1t will come,
though, as soon as the croakers and obstruc-
tionists get their second breath. Just now
they are dazed by the audacity of the PROPOSE
ton of gigantic monopoly from New York,
representing foreign capital, to furnish i'm
proved street-car service to Indianapolis In
la few days they will come to the front with
'innumerable reasons why it should not be
done, and will be able to show conclusively
that the salvation of the city depends on
keeping the intruders out. IL there is any
money in cable road, they all say, let it be
built by local capital, so we can get the bene-
fit of it. Why should the citizens of Indian
apolis pay tribute in the shape of car-fare to
foreign capitalY Better walk a thousand
ears. indianapolis is not dependent on
foreign capital for cable road. The road
needs indianapolis more than indianapolis
needs the road. 1t will come in good time.
If necessary, we can get an act from the
Legislature to bring it here. These Eastern
capitalists simply want to make money out of
the people. Let them go somewhere else
with their money-making schemes. Indian
apolis is too old bird to be caught with that
kind of chaff. Then they will hint that the
advocates Of cable road are secretly working
ia the interests of an Eastern syndicate that
is Seeking to fatten itself on the citizens of
I Indianapolis" and will quote from city
paper:
''To this advocacy comes also that of real
estate dealers. These want a cable road here
on any terms. They do not care whether the
city's future forever shall lie in the grasp of a
monopoly. What they want is the mere pres
: ent announcement that contract has been
closed to bring a cable road] to Indianapolis.
Upon this 1t is apparent that all the real
Spectators who have been battening on Kan
sas. and Ohio. and parts of Indiana, will flock
here. The carnival of '72-3 and so on, will be
q mild performance in comparison with what
will ens1e. Your real estate man sees fortune

comes here or not What he wants is the an
nouncement. SO that he can ipaugurate huge

of broker, getting commissions from the

that is being pushed BY this combine and

B. Skidmore, jr.. who. few months ago, in
company with P. G. Wright of this city, left for
Guatemala. Central America, to make inquiries
in regard TO the banana industry, returned to
Milwaukee yesterday. Mr.. Skidmore aud Mr..
Wright met General Bunting, adjutant-gen-
eral of the Guatemalian army in New York, and
were accompanied by him on their trip. Arriv-
ing at Livingston. the chief port on the Atlantic
ocean side, the party began their work of inquiry.
Mr.. Skidmore says the visit was fully as sue
cessful anticipated. The party went there
at % cents a bunch, but found that it could be
done for 10 cents So satisfied were they with
the outlook that they took 5. 600 acres of gov
eminent land. The land is located on Lake
Isabel, about forty miles long and twelve wide,
with Manageable river for an outlet to the At
lantic ocean. All the land in that country is
very heavily timbered with mahogany and other
valuable woods. However, it does not tako long
to clear it. The way this is usually done is to
eirdle the large trees and then set fire to them,
and they soon disappear Any stumps that are
or three years, entirely decaying in that Pc

plants put eighteen feet apart Nine months
after planting the sucker the fruit is

to be taken of the plants. and the weeds de-
